I was never a big fan of a formal dress code at work, so I felt almost a sense of victory when I saw how June J. Rivas turned the situation completely around when confronted by her boss about an “unprofessional” working outfit.

“So my boss didn’t like me wearing my hair in a ponytail every day,” June wrote on Facebook. “Nor my hair in a scarf. “Unprofessional”. Nor my hair in pigtails. “Unprofessional”. So I filed a harassment complaint against her as our contract states “no dress code. just be clean and pressed”.” Then her boss even revised the dress code adding restrictions to all of the above plus straps, hats, sandals, cleavage, “and even (and I quote) “cultural head wraps“.”

Lucky for June, in the new guidelines there wasn’t a single line about cosplay. So she made the most of it.
